Same here, it’s always good to be able to check it off the list, even if I could never afford it!Really!? I had envisioned Lindy would conform to the body the way Balenciaga chevre does. Good to know, not that I could ever afford a Lindy but one less bag to like is not necessarily a bad thing for us purse enthusiasts

Hi @Sunshine mama , I took some photos! For reference, I use an iPhone 11 with their silicone case.I really like the mix of the two leathers with this bag!This bag is so lady like!!!
Ohhhhh your picture is doing more possible damage to my wallet than any Aspinal pictures I've seen!
BTW, would a large phone fit comfortably in the back pocket?
What color is the interior??? TIA
This photo shows the iPhone in the back pocket. As you can see it’s not noticeable at all. However, it takes some time to get in and out of, due to the smooth leather doesn’t have much give and my silicone case having friction against everything. I’ve tried taking the case off and the iPhone slips in and out of the pocket much easier.
The lining is light pink. Very pretty combination!
It even comes with a matching mirror. The little pocket you see in the photo above is for the mirror
I just saw on their website sales section that they added another evergreen regular sized Mayfair that’s 0.75” wider than the one that I got. This wasn’t there when I bought mine. For some reason they called both the regular size. The slightly wider version costs about $90 USD more but I’m sure it can fit cellphones in the external pocket much easier due to the extra space. There’s only 1 left of the wider version though
Hope this helps!

Your pictures just make the bag look so much more desirable than the stock photos on their website!
So have I. I like it sitting on the shelf (like a piece of artwork), but...Thanks for test-driving the Lindy for us.
It's glowing! Is that a characteristic of swift leather? How do you like the leather?
I love this! Everything goes together so well on this bag.
This bag looks so elegant!Hi @Sunshine mama , I took some photos! For reference, I use an iPhone 11 with their silicone case.

My first swift bag. It has a lovely hand feel but I suspect it marks easily although this one is from 2010 and is in pretty decent shape. Here's a blurb off of the Hermes forum, my thanks to @navicular for her oh so helpful notes on Hermes leathers.
Veau Swift
Description: This extremely supple, sophisticated leather is named after Jonathan Swift, the author of Gulliver’s Travels, to highlight its resemblance to Gulliver calfskin, which no longer features in today’s collections.
First appeared in the collections: 2004
Appearance: Almost smooth with a delicate shine; lightly marked grain that is sometimes hardly noticeable
Feel: Soft and tender
Hand: Supple and generous
Change over time: Becomes even more supple
Nice! Thanks for the info. Had no idea it was named after Jonathan Swift. I think that makes it extra special, but then I'm a book nerd. Do you mind a mod shot? (I'm not a fan of them so no worries if not.)
Here's a fast one I did yesterday...sorry, it was getting dark and the lighting's bad.
Thanks! It's got a great slouch to it! The Cut version seems to be a good size. Did it come with an additional strap for crossbody use?
